24 Season 8: Live Thread (NEW)

FOX ^ | 2-15-10 | GRRRRR

[JustPiper]

"24" Themed Countdown Clock (1 Minute)

Set in New York City, "Day Eight" unfolds amidst the shadows of the Statue of Liberty and the United Nations as President Allison Taylor (Jones), alongside new chief of staff ROB WEISS (Chris Diamantopoulos), negotiates international security with OMAR HASSAN (Anil Kapoor), a determined Middle Eastern leader visiting the U.S. on a peacemaking mission. As the new day begins, an upgraded CTU operates under the command of M.B.A.-schooled, razor-sharp head honcho BRIAN HASTINGS (Mykelti Williamson), who supervises quirky CHLOE O'BRIAN (Mary Lynn Rajskub), expert data analyst DANA WALSH (Katee Sackhoff) and systems analyst ARLO GLASS (John Boyd).

COLE ORTIZ (Freddie Prinze Jr.), an ex-Marine who wants to follow in Bauer's footsteps, leads field operations while Agent RENEE WALKER (Annie Wersching) returns with an agenda of her own. Created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran, 24 is a production of 20th Century Fox Television and Imagine Television in association with Teakwood Lane Productions.

Wish I’d known about the live thread, but just as well since I only got into 24 for day 7 and 8 due to previous travel commitments, etc. So a lot of quality DVD time lies ahead ;-)

Admire the actors and writers for a very compelling program that reflects the reality of real life but focused on good vs. evil rather than partisanship. Ending as it did with the President having to admit her failures in humility was appropriate for these times, I think.

24 zulu time

[GRRRRR]

Well Freeper FRiends...that's it. Eight seasons of "24" plus a Movie I hope...it has been my honor to have PINGED you all for this last season.

Edgar lives!

It’s been a great run. Thanks for the pings...and wish I could have been here more often. Sometimes the action just kept me from the computer.

As long as Jack lives, the world is a safe place!

[defconw]

Thanks for the thread, it was fun. I’ll miss it.

[shove_it]

Thank you for your service!

Just wow!
No way I was going to try to watch and post tonight, I would have missed too much.

So where are we now? Like many others mentioned tonight, Gregory Itzin(Logan) should win at least 1 Emmy for his performance this season. And remember, he didn’t show until what, hour 10? And we know there will be a movie with the following as the backdrop....

President Taylor’s resignation and impending legal issues....
President Logan’s health.....
President Zubov’s role in the conspiracy and do they present a problem for Jack or Kim....
The fact that only 3 people at CTU are fully aware or the conspiracy(Cole, Chloe and Arlo).....
And finally Jack running from the authorities to escape as Taylor insists he does.....

Should be a kick ass movie!!

Thanks to everyone who made this thread, and the 4 years I was on it a freaking blast!! snif snif, It’s all over. Well until the movie comes out!

[GRRRRR]

Hey!! It’s the HAWKS vs. FLYERS!! Should be a superior Stanley Playoff!

[etabeta]

thank you very much for hosting this thread. Read all the comments after every episode and it was a hoot.
You guys rock.
Oops...I was about to add “see you next season”....

Ooooo, I like the thought of Jack & Chloe in Paris! But I think it’s more likely he’ll be in Madame Pompador’s country. She’s the only one he can turn to.

But then, 24 never felt it had to explain to us how Jack disappears himself. He just shows up in the next country.

[evad]

Reservoir Dog will pick him up.

He's on his way to the safe house as we speak :)

Why doesn’t Taylor just pardon Jack before she retires? At least that way he’d only be fighting the Russians in the upcoming movie.

I’m just joining in after watching the show on tivo after a meeting. Hubby actually watched with me. He’s a closet fan. Won’t admit he likes it but he loved this episode.

Very sweet intro by Jack, bittersweet.

[sockmonkey]

Yes, “Time to Shut it Down”..sniff.. Thank you GRRRRRR for the pings and good company.

[flowergirl]

i think jack will go to the man that was helping him, you the special forces guy

[altura]

The final episode was fantastic.

[altura]

DP was actually worried about Jack. Said something about he has no money, etc. I think Jack can manage quite nicely, thank you.

Thanks to you and everyone who loves this thread. It has been a pleasure to lurk and post. I didn’t discover “24” until season 5, so you all have helped fill in some necessary blanks for me, as well as enhance my viewing experience. I don’t watch that much prime time network tv so this was quite a commitment for me. It was much more enjoyable with this thread.

Thanks to Mr. Sutherland and everyone involved in creating 24. It was good to see people of honor and integrety who LOVE America portrayed on TV for a change.

As for this season... one of the best 24 hour "days" ever.

To everyone involved with 24 and to everyone who faithfully met here on line to enjoy the show together and to make snarkey, funny and sometimes serious comments...

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES, now "Shut it down" :O)
